This is actually a problem when putting the car on chasis dyno. With my shifter I can go to N very fast but I never dared try that. No need to ratchet thru ever gear, but still...

Should work now.

No my son has blond hair after his mother.

Took me 2 full days to build the trans to spec. Another 5 hours to install and when I almost announced job done and turned the key to start the car, I heard cracking noise. Instantly realized I forgot to tighten the bolts on the starter. Result was cracked housing. This meat unbolting drivers...

I did all the clearances and endplay parameters as Chris suggested. It wasn’t easy to make his tight tolerances happen but I did it. Turned out my transmission was in bad shape. Before pulling, my car only could do burnout in 1st gear, after switching to 2nd or 3rd wheels would stop This is...

So the parts arrived months ago, but there was no time to get things done. I also got rollerized rear support, but never took a photo. Here are some pictures of the goodies. I used kolene steels and alto frictions. I had plenty of these. Also rigid wide front band, billet steel anchor and strut...

I know.

Its all in around 3300 according to timing light. I never dynoed this one. Car will probably be on chasis dyno but I dont really know how to interpret the numbers with gear vendors on 727. What the impact of it is on the result. I go to the same place every time. When I tried low octane fuel...

Now its 1 blue and 1 lightest silver spring in the msd distributor, total 34 advance idle 18 deg advance (I made a custom bushing). I tried different mixes of advance and this one seems to be the best overall.

Here is how she runs. Overall car exceeds expectations power wise. I opened the rings a bit to be safe with some nitrous but this will wait…

Also we got a new carb to finish this up. Needed small jets change and accelerator pump tweak.

We didn’t give up and ordered a set of cometic mls gaskets, victor intake and decided to run 100 octane gas. The car is absolute animal. I spent some time tuning everything but it paid off very well.

Hi, I have a few updates about how this thing turned out. I tried running this with less total advance on standard pump gas and effect was not good as you can see below ;-) This was on 95 local which I believe is 91 American.

Wow for some reason I never got any notification about your response. Very cool story with 8.30s car in the 90s. Back then it took much more skill to do that! We are now totally spoiled with parts avilability. My new engine didnt happen yet and its all becasue of people asking me to build stuff...

Engine is done and in the car. I took some photos of the thing in my shed before installing. just waiting for new cluch to be able to start it up.
